“…In general, having a diagnosis of LD may lead to underachievement, which may result in feelings of failure and experiences of learned helplessness and loneliness (Korkmazlar, 1999). As reported in other studies (Kavale & Fornes, 2000;Levi et al, 2013;Torgesen & Wong, 1986), parents and teachers in this study showed that they were aware of the difficulties experienced by children with LD.…”

“…Despite this program, students with LD still experience difficulties in schools because of a lack of well‐trained teachers, effective teaching methods, well‐designed curricula, and inadequate educational materials (Babur, Haznedar, Ercetin, Ozerman, & Erdat‐Cekerek, ; Sakız et al., ). Additionally, teachers’ perceptions and attitudes may negatively affect and be affected by the low academic performance of children with LD, further reducing the opportunity to reach their academic potential (Clark, ; Levi, Einav, Raskind, Ziv, & Margalit, ; Ozabaci & Ergun‐Basak, ).…”

This study aimed to explore how children with learning disabilities (LD) perceive their quality of life (QoL) and to compare self‐reports and proxy reports regarding their QoL. Children with LD, their typically developing peers, their parents and teachers responded to the child, parent, and teacher forms of KINDLR Questionnaire for Measuring Health‐Related Quality of Life (Ravens‐Sieberer & Bullinger, 1998). Findings showed that children with LD reported significantly lower QoL scores than those reported by typically developing peers. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and t‐test results showed that agreement between child reports and parent‐proxy reports was either low or moderate on each QoL dimension. Findings of the study may be used to raise awareness regarding the social and educational needs of children with LD in Turkey.

“…School psychologists should be aware to the importance of the attitudes towards accommodations within classroom environment and a target for future clarification and enhancing their legitimation within the school context, targeting effective usages and accepting attitudes. In an earlier studies teachers clearly expressed their need and requests to learn more about learning disabilities and test accommodations (Levi et al, 2013), emphasizing the limited training in this area.…”

“…Third, conceptual matters merit a word of caution regarding the proposed personal resources. Considering that various components might mediate the relations between test accommodations and PA, additional resources and ecological conditions such as classroom climate, teachers' attitudes towards test accommodations and their hopeful expectations about the abilities of these students to succeed should be considered in future studies (Levi, Einav, Raskind, Ziv, & Margalit, 2013). Tapping into the multifaceted and complex relations between disabilities, affect, perceptions and actual achievements may help policy makers, teachers and students alike approach their capabilities and challenges in a more efficient way.…”

The growing number of students with Learning Disabilities (LD) who are granted test accommodations raises many theoretical questions with educational implications. The aim of the current study is to examine levels of positive affect as an indicator of wellbeing among students with LD who receive test accommodations and to identify the mediating role of personal resources such as academic self-efficacy, hope, attitudes towards test accommodations and loneliness. Two groups of junior high school students (157 students with LD and 278 typical development peers) completed questionnaires about their attitudes towards test accommodations, their positive affect, academic self-efficacy, loneliness and hope. Results indicate that students with LD who are entitled to test accommodations reported lower levels of academic selfefficacy, hope and positive affect compared to their typical development peers. A serial multiple mediation analysis demonstrates that personal resources as well as attitudes fully mediated the relations between receiving such accommodations and positive affect. This study offers unique, though preliminary, findings about the important relations between receiving test accommodations and attitudes about them, positive affect and personal resources by providing a deeper look at the complexity of the relations between the factors that predict students' wellbeing.
